History

Ilan Shemes has been making GrabIt changes since the program has been introduced. SSL support was introduced in version 1.7.2 Beta.

Uses

The GrabIt program is solely used to read and download binaries from usenet newsgroups.

Features

GrabIt has Yenc and NZB support and can have up to 50 simultaneous connections.

GrabIt is one of the few newsreaders to include a search function. This search function searches all of the newsgroups on the Shemes news service. This is beneficial for the user wanting to find a certain binary or article. The downside to the search is that a user can only do a fixed number of searches without being subscribed to Shemes news service. Also the queries returned will be those listed in the Shemes service and not necessarily of the user's service. As of GrabIt Beta 1.7.2 Beta 3 SSL encryption is now supported.

gollark: For instance, you can build a dependency graph and efficiently execute everything concurrently and in the right order.
gollark: In any case, a declarative syntax allows some optimizations.
gollark: It may have been me using it wrong, but runit doesn't seem to properly terminate processes created by a shellscript unless I make *another* script with `killall` in it.
gollark: Anyway, I figure you could probably capture *most* of systemd's nice bits - parallel execution of stuff, no shell scripts, pleasant unit files, sandboxing - without depending on a hundred horribly interlinked C binaries doing everything ever.
gollark: It would of course still contain TOML.
